Mancini on El Shaarawy’s last Olimpico match: “We’ll miss him.” | OneFootball

Gianluca Mancini also spoke to Dazn alongside El Shaarawy.

The number 23, who scored a brace, first spoke about his teammate: “I was lucky enough to play with El Shaarawy for six years. Yesterday he was alone all day, and we respected him. Today I encouraged him to score, and he came close. We’ll miss him; I’ll always love him.”

Finally, the defender spoke about his goals and the hug with Pellegrini: “There are good and bad moments in a season. I didn’t expect to score two goals, and I didn’t know what to do about the second.”

“I hugged Lorenzo because he wanted to be there; we have a great friendship, and I wanted to make him feel like we were there.”
